Has there been such a thread? Can't find one, so here goes:

Nice clouds this evening

Agreed, it's a beautiful scene.

Technically, is it a stitch-up of pics or a panoramic or crop ?
I ask because I've tried similar scenes as stitch-ups with my little Olympus, but they don't come out well.

LL, it is a crop. - I have only done 2 or 3 stitched panoramas in the past, here's one of them (180 degrees). There is at least one obvious join.

Lamplighter · 08-15-2010, 01:22 PM

That's exactly what I've been getting too.
Maybe with something like an ocean scene it wouldn't be noticeable, but a scene with many details is frustrating.

Mown field - the farmer has avoided where my septic tank is, as usual.

Hi again, you may be interested in this little write-up + links of panorama photo-stitch software: http://www.vicanek.de/plugins/panowarp.htm

Today the farmer rolled the cut hay into haylage bales, then let the cattle into the field. He's dashing about now with the tractor scooping up the bales before the coos eat'em!

Such a place! My Mom's people were from Aran Island, Ireland its interesting that both islands are in similar positions vs their main islands. *google earth is so cool* Now I need a Gaelic dictionary.

Those cows look so real.

The grass is always greener, over the septic tank.

I'm very jealous of the plugins in that link, particularly the ones that allow for straightening via cylinder, etc.
Unfortunately (for me) I'm on a Mac and don't have the necessary software to run the plugins.

In any case, I thought you might be interested in the "stitching" I did today on the sequotia tree in my earlier post.
This panorama was created via HP SmartStudio software using 3 pics.
It is glaring how it needs straightening, particularly the Douglas firs on the left, but the tree, itself, seems to be pretty accurate.
